Repair Leather Armor requires screws?

[Suranappar_Wottan]

Just made some hard leather armor yesterday. Took basic stuff like cloth, leather, adhisive. But at repair i needs 3 screws???

Is tihs a bug or just how the system works?

If it's higher-level gear, yes. As you move up the power scale you require more specialized/rare materials to craft or repair anything.

We hold leather together with only leather and glue, here.
Facetious commentary aside I'm curious about the technicalities of crafting authentic vs modern recreational design involved in such things. Armors have never really been my field, and my experience with leatherwork is lacking.

Leather armor would use rivets in real life, but that item doesn't exist in Fallout universe so screws are used.

Ahhh nifty, thanks! That does make sense for modern stuff. This is a stupid question but now I have to go find out when rivets were invented..

"Rivet holes have been found in Egyptian spearheads dating back to the Naqada culture of between 4400 and 3000 B.C. Archeologists have also uncovered many Bronze Age swords and daggers with rivet holes where the handles would have been. The rivets themselves were essentially short rods of metal, which metalworkers hammered into a pre-drilled hole on one side and deformed on the other to hold them in place."
I'm so behind the times

Try using White Knight or whatever that Perk is called, reduces the amount of materials required when repairing armor. I use it for my SS armor and it negates having to use ballistic fiber, which I just love collecting.

Actually, Secret Service doesn't require ballistic fiber to repair.

It's a game, no Technicalities needed, or you would have died from the radiation 4 hours after you left the vault. Next time use rivets instead- on no more stuff to carry.

Maybe it was Fiberglass, not sure, something prompted me to use White Knight when repairing it. I can't check since I just repaired to 200% yesterday.

EDIT: Or Fiber Optics ? Think it was the stuff you get off those big centipedes or biometric scanners. Either way, I'm not FO1st so I scrap sooooo much ♥♥♥♥, bulk it and sell it. Just happened to be a component I don't keep around and White Knight was like, "You're Welcome".
